Text of the page (random words):
similar in the center of heaven in his throne room where all plans for heaven and earth are made in the center of all power and glory that angel is charged with constantly offering up to god the prayers of god s people the prayers lie on a golden altar before his unimaginably astounding throne obviously a sacred place reserved for precious treasure those prayers are raised up before god cupped in the angel s hands mingled together with the sweet aroma of incense i picture countless precious golden leaves which are unpacked from the golden altar and handled one by one by the angelic high keeper of prayers this notion is my own and it is extra biblical so if it is of no help to you please disregard it and i ve no doubt that each one of those communications is seen and heard by the lord god individually and is instantly committed to his perfect memory where it will be integrated into his plan i imagine that the whole process happens so quickly that there is no lag time at all between the utterance or sending up of the prayer and his hearing and seeing of it in his hands prayers take on solidity a life of their own they endure and live on although those who sent them up may be long departed i believe each prayer is eternal therefore having no half life but being full of life they might be thought of as the nuclear fuel of his plan although unlike nuclear fuel they never degrade and they persist forever it s difficult for us to grasp the concept of forever it s very difficult to grasp that god created time and can live both inside time and outside of time all at one time i could be wrong but i m pretty sure he can view all of time at the same time he can place himself at a point in the past and start things in motion that will be an answer to a prayer i pray today he can i think integrate all the prayers that were ever prayed and will be prayed and somehow make them result in ultimate glorious good prayer is talking to god with god conversing speaking with our creator to thank him to praise him to ask for help to simply ask why or will you or what shall i do i have to think that every word we say to him is important to him i have to think he remembers every word he must even the angry words the harsh the foolish the hurtful and the factual the righteous words and the wrongful too it s all part of the relationship i think in a relationship we remember most things that have been said my cousin coined a word revelationship that s a great word which kind of ties this whole piece together i just wanted to express the eternal persistence of our prayers i wanted to show that they are precious to god treasured by him a sweet fragrance as illustrated by the picture in revelation of a special ritual involving an important angel our lord god king of heaven and earth and the prayers of his people it is a very important scene which is evidence and confirmation that praying is of prime importance no wonder we are told to pray constantly

heaven and nature sing 23 dec 2025 2 comments yesterday s post used birds prominently in a poignant allegory that alluded to why jesus was and had to be incarnated this next uses birds prominently to make another important allusion this piece explores the concept of how at jesus birth all heaven and earth the created universe was aware of the sacred event and couldn t help but rejoice in awe in tribute to the people of his native country catalonia at the time of this writing in 2017 embroiled in issues with independence from spain ninety four year old pablo casals famed cellist composer and conductor had often ended his concerts with el cant dels ocells the song of the birds a catalonian christmas carol it is so beautiful he said and it is also the soul of my country catalonia the birds in the sky in the space sing peace peace peace song of the birds or carol of the birds isn t as widely known as many of the more traditional carols but i wish it were please note that there are two or three songs which have the same name but different lyrics and tunes and even this catalonian song has several different versions i am fascinated by the idea that the birds might represent nature or the created universe when it first becomes aware of the creator s arrival inside his creation what happiness and joy and awe and peacefulness is expressed by these quiet gentle voices of nature this may be frivolous speculation on my part wondering how nature perceives its creator is creation somehow conscious or aware of him in a way we cannot understand we aren t conscious of and can t have much knowledge of and maybe not individual awareness like that of one rock or mountain but a collective awareness with the whole of creation giving glory and being glory for our mighty god and since our triune god is present everywhere in space and time my thought is how can all creation not be aware of him this is a deep subject and is part of the deep mystery surrounding the creation jesus part in it and what happened when he entered into it as a human i really like thinking about it pondering it and wondering of the truth within it what is the fullness of its purpose what meaning can be gleaned faith says there will be a day when we will be enlightened by the creator himself perhaps you are not one to ponder such things still there may be something here for you i know a few people who hear this music as haunting morose even depressing not me i hear bright awe and respect deep and joyous sacred mystery gentle peaceful yet glorious and ecstatic worship in reverence for the christ child how do you perceive it below are four different lyrical versions of carol of the birds there may be more i m not certain but these are poetic and deep compelling and emotional one could almost imagine that nature or creation is praying to and worshiping our all knowing all encompassing creator god our christ child our jesus the version directly below contains the verses used in the video if you don t have time to read the different versions please skip down to my commentary to find some of the things all the versions have in common the words given below are as most commonly sung in the english version a star rose in the sky and glory from on high did fill the night with splendor came birds with joyful voice to carol and rejoice with songs so sweet and tender the eagle then did rise
